Might make some like the horses poo bags, lifting the tail opens the bag to catch the business:

I carry a special small container of water for after #2 and I just wash up. There's enough water to wash my bum and my hands, and the squat position leaves very little to wash off anyway.
Ladies really need to hear the pack out the TP message because there are a lot of toilet paper "flowers" all over the trail in the So Cal section and it's obvious that it's not day hikers because of where I've seen it. For pee, use a pee rag. The radioactive sun of the PCT will zap it and kill all the germs.
^^ Absolutely.
I was told a similar story on a school tour, about 10 yrs ago. Results: swabs from phones and keyboards grew more bacteria in a culture dish than anything else, including toilet seats.
Of late I've seen it reported that blow dryers for hands in restrooms are really good at spreading germs.
Back on topic, doggy poop sacks were suggested as a good solution to packing out TP at a recent ruck. Get opaque. About 2 cents and 2 grams each. Of course, if you in a place you need to pack out everything, they are made for the job.
Thinking back, the triple-crowner who made the suggestion is a vet. She should know.
As said, double bag. Don't worry about it. Really isn't as gross as it sounds after a couple of days.
